Application Controller helper methods not available for Views Specs

I have a helper method called current_user in my Application Controller (used with Authlogic).

Spec for views using that helper fail (but the view is working when i use the browser)

ActionView::Template::Error: undefined local variable or method 'current_user' for #<#<Class:0x0000000229b060>:0x00000002004248>

I use rspec 2.6.0.

Any开发者_如何学Pythonone had the same problem? Please advice. Thanks

You can stub out the method on view.

view.stub(:current_user).and_return(user)

This will also work in helper specs.

Controller-defined helper methods are not included in the helper object.

Check out this one: http://apidock.com/rails/ActionController/Helpers/ClassMethods/helper_method.

You can define helper inside the ApplicationController, and use it across the controllers AND views.

check right documentation for specs view
